my girl kt is probably capable of running 15:20s now and to be able to break that she has to run against courtney wayment and other fast runners in an all-out race
15:15 right now sounds right to me. Henes said that yesterday's workout was at 5K pace going down to 3K, and they started out right on 15:15 pace. That's consistent with how she looked in her 4:12 1500, too. Wouldn't surprise me if she gets down to 15:00 pretty quickly now. What's really impressive is that they have a tight pack of women running repeat 800s at that pace, and cutting down to 14:35 pace. That doesn't include Starliper, Howlett, and others who looked good in a threshold workout. What a fearsome team.
I hope she can get in a race with Cook so that she has somebody to pull her to a 15:20 because Cook can be counted on to run a nice even 15:15.
so you are saying natalie cook can lead a 15:15 race and pull someone ? when she was just pulled by pros to get a 15:25 ?
don't be funny
did you know that tuohy ran a 15:30 despite being in a fartlek race with some laps being 80 and mostly 70s, a race that no one expected to have a decent time and yet the time was 15:30, imagine if they went all out from the gun, tuohy now has an insane finishing kick speed just like wayment, tuohy dropped her finishing speed from 36s to 31s in just 3 months
natalie is fast and talented, but you seem to be forgetting that tuohy has faster raw speed

indeed someone posted last month that tuohy's 5000m time trial is 15:1x
im not really concerned about anything else, im just happy she now has a strong finishing kick because that is what wins races and the fast pace is just mostly mental
nc state is deep, but will lose 2-3 seniors, they r such a competitive team that every season their top runner is different
the 800m400m200m repeat workout is so simple, a lot of programs does that but not all programs can run it the way nc state can on a hard workout day
Cook did that off 20 MPW. She is feeling better and plans to increase to 35 MPW as the season progresses. Of course she will beable to lead a 15:15 and go sub 15 in a paced race.

It depends on the race. The indoor final indicates sub 15:20 but NCAA races are often tactical and it will depend on whether a race is paced for a fast, even time. I would guess if her legs are fresh about 15:10-15.

Cook ran a great race - props to her -but I just don’t see how she can improve much more in the 5k until she gets her times down at shorter distances.She is about maxed out. Looks like she has run a 4:44 1600 and a 2:12 800. By comparison, Tuohy is quite a bit faster than that with a 4:12 1500 with a fast close and looked like not anywhere near an all out effort. She closed her 3k at indoor nationals with a 2:11 last 800. Could probably lower her 2:09 800 PR by quite a bit now - I would imagine at least 2:05 ish. She is on the right track with training and speed development. This will pay off in the longer distances.
i really thought maddy denner was a title contender until i realized she can only run 1 hard race per season and gets maxed out after that and can no longer run fast, tuohy has lapped her in both acc and nationals and she has a 15:27 pr

She ran great at nationals and then 10 days later at BU but besides that she did not do much. Very strange.
